The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is issuing a new report from the Center for Financing Reform and Innovation (CFRI) on Financing Peer Crisis Respites in the United States. Peer crisis respites are recovery-oriented programs that can successfully provide trauma-informed care to individuals in behavioral health crises. The emerging evidence-base demonstrates the efficacy of peer crisis respites, but to date there are few studies on the cost effectiveness of these programs.
Learn more about this report during SAMHSA’s webinar which highlights findings from the report and the benefits of peer crisis respites for a recovery-oriented continuum of crisis care, and identifies common components, operations, and funding solutions of peer crisis respites from a national sample of programs across the U.S.
